VINE-seq and MultiVINE-seq for single-nucleus and multiome profiling of the brain vasculature - Nature Protocols

Protocol and workflow for isolating intact cerebral vessels and extracting nuclei for high-resolution single-nucleus and multiome profiling of brain vasculature.

Key Takeaways
  • Human cerebrovasculature is a critical yet historically understudied component of neurological health
  • However, characterizing these cell populations at a molecular level has proven exceptionally challenging
  • This has created a major blind spot in neuroscience
